Local business tyrants use local government to guarantee local monopolies, temporarily preventing larger monopolies from taking over. Amazon and Walmart will eat their lunch five years later.

temporarily

Extremely temporarily if Amazon or Walmart wanted, they could make a few phone calls to their lawyers and this law would be effortlessly overturned in the courts

Local business tyrants rest on their laurels bereft of competition -> neolibs get elected and repeal this -> walmart and amazon effortlessly undercut their asses

As a bonus, people who can will just drive a town over or whatever to go to Wally Mart

It's sort of the crux of the issue, dollar stores have been expanding to fill that gap in these remote and small communities, and those communities don't want that for themselves.
